day and was given an enthusiastic re-
ception by the citizens. But there
was determined effort made by the
Orangemen Of the town to prevent a
free hearing of The noted Irish agita-
tor. A serious riot was feared, and
precautions were taken in advance by
the authorities to prevent fatal COL
lision of the opposing factions. Some
violence occurred out not enough to
interfere materially with the meet
ing. The agitator made great
speech defying Governor General

From the Globe Of the day they celebrate.
The Scandinavian element has been
il useful factor in our Northwestern
deveiopement. The hardy and ener-
getic race who inhabit the Scandina-
vian peninsula are we'll fitted for pio-
neer work. For more than Il thousand
years they have occupied il prominent
place in the worlds history. From
the days of the Harulds down to the
present time they have exerted
potent influence in moulding civiliza-
ton. The Northman has always been
freedom loving person. His sturdy
independence of character makes him
restive under the restraints of mon.
archical government, and while in his
native country he has never been able
to cut loose entirely from European
ideas and remove the forms of royalty
still lie has succeeded in establishing
a constitutional government. There
is no country in Europe where the
principles Of democracy have so firm
hold upon the peasantry as in Nor
way Or Sweden. Therefore, when
they come to this country they come
here thoroughly enraptured with
American institutions. They do not
have to be educated to the duties of
American citizenship. For the prin.
ciples of constitutional freedom are
born in them. With their natural
love Of liberty. their sturdy traits of
character, their industrious habits
and their hardy physical constitu-
tions, they constitute the best possi-
ble material for the development of
this Northwestern section. That
they have been important factors in
this work the results of our marvel
Gus development abundantly testify.

There are many excellent sugges-
tians to farmers in the following ar
ticle from the North Dakota Farmer:
The farmers of Dakota must make
haste slowly. Farm improvement
must be gradual work; one change
for the better this year and another
next, till at length the farm is all
that the owner desires it to be. This
is the lesson of the last two years.
Many, probably majority of our
farmers are contemplating change
from exclusive wheat raising to mix
ed farming. or to stock growing as a
speciality. Those who have recently
moved upon tracts of raw prairie,
with families to support, are gener.
ally compelled to raise grain to sell in
order TO erect buildings and buy i'm
plements. They may have to keep Il
"scrub' animal or none. They have
not the money to purchase pure bred
stock, or to provide suitable buildings
to keep them in. Such farmers must
change gradually. patiently biding
their time. Let them buy all the
stock that they can pay for, and that
which will return the greatest profit.
Make use of the best sires which are
acc essible. that they may find ready
sale for their surplus, or those they
are obliged to sell in the event of fail
ure of crop Or other contingency, at
good prices. Give them good care.
With the advantages of soil AMI cli-
mate and rapid development of the
country, industry, perseverance and
prudent farm management will be
surely and richly rewarded.
